I'm guessing this is going to be very similar to what Microsoft has in mind for the Raspberry-Pi?

92 % fewer security bulletins and 80% fewer reboots. One can hope that's not just promise.

I think it leans more toward CoreOS and Kubernetes.

I'm interested in what the licensing will be like, compared to "larger" editions.

I hope it will cost a lot less. Might interesting for the C# people to use non-Azure clouds more if the costs are more inline with Linux based systems.

That is not a promise.

asp.vnext is targeting Linux. My guess is those who will run on other clouds will likely use Linux/container*OS instead.

With MVC moving to a Linux compatible infrastructure in the next version, it may be too little too late, and C# people might just use Linux for real.

Literally the only C# "thing" which won't run on Linux is Visual Studio itself. Heck we might even see a Linux Powershell version here in the next few years.

We never had any issues deploying .NET applications in Amazon.
